Northern African and Middle Eastern Peoples

There are millions of people across the desert lands of northern Africa who have not heard the Word of God. It may be that the Word has not yet been translated into their language. In cases where it has been translated, there are those who have never been given Scripture or who do not know how to read it. The majority of the people have simply had no access to God’s Word. Please pray that this will change! Pray for those who are working hard to translate the Bible, asking that God will give them the stamina and wisdom needed as they seek to determine the clearest words to communicate God’s truth. Pray for the completion of audio Bible recordings in more languages. Hearing God’s Word is so valuable for those who do not know how to read or who come from cultures where orality is central. Pray for the peoples of the desert to hear God’s Word and understand it through a personal witness, radio programs, social media, websites, and printed media. May they have dreams and visions of Jesus. Pray for their hearts to be prepared to accept and believe God’s story that was written for their salvation.
